While working on my latest tileable mail texture (Japanese-style kusari) I was struck by the anachronism of using it on my test model, Lourdes' M3 Normans Outfit. I found a samurai helmet, but no Japanese costume, neither samurai, ninja nor ashigarue. I couldn't find a Norman helmet or kite-shield. I took this as a sign - here's the result!

Tools used:
========
Posed and rendered in Poser 6 (un-retouched, except for putting into GIMP, adding a plain black background, and converting to JPG)

Models used:
========
"Michael 3" by DAZ
"M3 Normans Outfit" by Lourdes at ShareCG
Katana from "Katana set for M3" by Arki at RuntimeDNA
"Samurai Helmet for Poser" by Daramski at ShareCG
Mail textures from my "Tileable Mail Textures 3-6 (Kusari)" at ShareCG
The Norman Kite Shield is a prop I'm working on (there's currently no back or straps to it!)
The rising sun texture for the shield, and the terracotta textures for the clothing and helmet are ones I created specifically for this render. « Less
